The piece argues President Trump and two Republican senators overstate the benefits of halving legal immigration. It cites studies by the National Academies and a broad economist group, noting immigration boosts long‑run growth. Supporters like Lindsey Graham warn of harm to economies, while critics label the plan a dangerous policy driven by bias rather than evidence.
